| Return or onward ticket Proof of confirmed departure from Singapore | Immigration officers routinely ask for a return or onward flight ticket at Changi Airport. Have a printed or digital copy of your confirmed booking ready. Overstaying even one day results in a fine and possible ban. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation letter | Carry a printed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Singapore. Immigration may ask where you're staying during the entry interview. A simple booking confirmation from Booking.com or Agoda works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Bank statement or cash equivalent | Have a recent bank statement showing at least SGD 1,000–2,000 or the equivalent in cash. Immigration officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need to show you can cover your stay without working. Credit cards are accepted as proof too. | Recommended |
